Election Fraudsix Georgia.—The! rnth-
ful and well informed correspondent o. f the

reports:
I hare seen one of these official reports in
MS. and tho document, jvras smeared w. viu
erasures and substitutions from beginning to
end—said smears being >tbc scare of tL • e
doctoring to which it bad. boon subjected.
Wo long for an invc3tiga(ica of the election
frauds of Georgia, and have serious hopes
that it is soon to occur, jurigiug from the fact
that General ileado liosj appointed a com
mission for that purpose in Alabama. The
following is from the Montgomery Mail:
Peg iteration Fiuutl*.—Wo understand there
is in section, in this city, an investigation
commission, appointed by Gen. Mcat.3, to loot
into the frauds committed in registry bon and
at the ballot-box. The commission is m
session daily, and xve learn that the, c. ulence
is voluminous and specific on this point.—
That great frauds have been committed in
registering and voting there can be no doubt,
and xve are glad to learn that positive.evi
dence of this fact wiiLbe submitted to >ho
District Commander.
THE SUSPENSE.
It is not very strange that many, in this
stage of the cmbroglio at Waslrtngton
looking alone at the fury of the assaults
of the Radical majority upon the Constitu
tion, as represented by the Executive and
the Supreme Court, and not yet seeing any
demonstrations of resistance, or seein
those continued Cabinet consultations only
ex'idences of perplexity and dismay, should
fenr that c\*erything on tho defensive side
was involved in confusion, and that Johnson
and his coadjutors were about to surrender
the ship of State in despair.
Wo do not partake of this despondency.—
It is true that the President has not yet shown
bis bend. He has indeed come to one con
elusion. He lias declined the advice of those
more adventurous friends who have urged
the adoption of the promptest measures as
the wisest, upon tlic reason that delay will be
deemed evidence of hesitation and weakness,
and thus impair bis strength xvith the country,
And xve cannot foretell what policy he may
adopt. But xve arc to consider that lie is
mergod in a sea of troubles, every single wave
of which would suffice to stagger a man of
ordinary nerve. The two bills have noxv
passed tlic House, one of xvliicb places bis
subordinate, Grant, over him, and the other
framed to prevent him from questioning tlic
lawfulness of tbc measure, and the decision
of the Senate compelling him to receive into
the Executive corps an obnoxious Secretary
xvliom he had removed, added to the treach
cry of Grant in retroceding tho place which
be bad himself held at tbb band of Johnson,
in base violation of bis repeated pledges—
these attacks, made by Iris desperate assail
auts, at once demand, as he believes, a delib
erate examination of tliu whole ground upon
wliicbjbe stands. One false step might be
fatal.
We have good reason for our confidence.—
The President himself, besides bis life-long
experience in affaire of State, the mechanism
of government, and the turmoils of political
life, is a man confessedly of uncommon tact
and almost unbounded resources of mind, and
of much more promptness, energy and cour
age than fall to the lot of most men. On
whose sagacity, and whose decision of char
acter, among our public men, could wo rely
if not on Andrew Johnson’s ? And not only
Mr. Johnson, bat other men of rank, of strong
judgment and great strength of character,
are at his side, to counsel, sustain and en
courage him. The clear-headed Sexvard,
who, whatever impression we may have of
his past record, is deeply committed to, if,
indeed, he did not originate, the President’s
policy; the fearless, strong-minded Stanbery;
and that' other standard-bearer, though not
of tho Cabinet proper, Jeremiah S. Black—
we bail almost termed him the guardian
genius of Johnson—whose profoundness of
thought, power of argument and boldness of
spirit render him the peer of any public man
of our day—such are the friends and fit coun
sellors of the President in this extraordinary
crisis.
Let us not fear for the conduct of such
men. They know and feel the full pressure
of the danger, and are preparing how best
to meet it What we know not now, wc shall
know hereafter. At the battle of Bannock
burn, while the two armies stood iu array, in
that dread interval of suspense that preceded
tbc conflict, the plaided Scots were seen sud

they arc kneeling for mercy!”
“Aye,” said an officer near him, “but they
are not kneeling to the King.” And this was
in a short time verified by the famous on
slaught of the Scotch upon the ranks of their
proud invaders, who, it is said, had brought
with them the chains and fetters to bind the
foemcn they expected to conquer.

The Stanton Affair.
From the Sational'InteliigcHcerSl
We collect from the Star ft Express, of
yesterday nfternooD, the description of tli
retrocession of the War Department to non
Edwin M. Stanton. It appears that at nine
o’clock yesterday morning the then acting
Secretary of War, General Grant, came to the
War Department as usual, and, after nrrang
ing sonic papers: locked the door of the pri
vite ollice of tlic Secretary of War, nnd, tak
ing the key with him, proceeded to the head
quarters of the Army, nearly opposite to the
War Department. About half-past ten
o’clock, Mr. Edxxdn X. Stanton appeared
the War Department, nnd proceeded imme
diately to the office usually occupied by tli
Secretary of War. Finding tlie doer locked,
lie took a scat in the ante-room, where lie
was the recipient of many xvarm congratula
tions from Senators and members of the
House of Representatives, who bad assem
bled apparently to sec what bad taken place,
Mr. Stanton appeared to be iu unusually fine
spirits, nnd conversed freely with all around
bim.
Upon the arrival of Mr. Stanton, Gen. Dent,
the Acting Adjutant General of Gen. Grant
as Secretary of War ad interim, hurried over
to the headquarters of the army to inform
Gen. Grant ot the fact, and to obtain tbc key
to the Secretary’s ollice. In.a fexv minutes be
returned, and placed tho key in the hands ol
Adjutant General Townsend, who, in a sort
of “present arms” style,. delivered it up to
Secretary Stanton.
As soon ns tbc reinstated Secretary was
fairly ensconced in bis office, tbc Radical
members of the Tcnnessco delegation in Con
gtess xvaited upon him in a body to present
their congratulations, and to ask him to use
his influence to continue the operations of the
Frecdmen’a Bureau in the States of Tennessee
and Kentucky after the 13th of February
next, at which time, by order ot the Presi
dent, it ceases in those States. Sir. Stanton
replied, that so long as lie bad any power, he
would use it to protect tlic xveak, and would
do bis best to have the request carried out.
He further stated that it would be a few days
before matters would commence to run right
in bis office.
As the Tennessee delegation were with
drawing, they were uiet by General Grant in
the hall. After exchanging salutations with
them and General Howard, xvho xvas present,
and expressing satisfaction at tbc action of
the Senate in restoring Mr. Stanton, he xvalked
towards the Secretary’s office, when the latter
appeared at the door and shook the General
warmly by the band, and both passed in.
It is understood that General Grant and
Mr. Stanton were closeted together on Mon
day evening, after the passage of the Senate
resolution.
During the interview between Gen. Grant
and Mr. Stanton, Gen. Dent transferred bis
desk to Gen. Pelouze, who had occupied it
during the latter part of Mr. Stanton’s former
administration of the Department, and Gen.
Hardic gave up his position to Gen. Shrivcr.
At lialf-part two o’clock Mr. Stanton was
locked up in his private room with several
persons, xvliose names were not ascertained.
At a few minutes past three o’clock an order
was issued by Mr. Stanton, informing the

Gun. J. B. Uaciu df.k Tanks Tin: Oath.
Gen. J. B. Magruder, late of the Confederate
army, voluntarily presented himself in the
Clerk's office uf the United States Circuit
Court on Friday and nropqse 1 to take the
oath ot allegiance to the government of the
United States, The oath xvas then adminis
tered by Commissioner White in tlic usual
manner, Gen. Magruder promptly subscribing
to tlic same.
I
ment is to /all, or tamely yield itself to tho
revolutionary Congress. At the proper mo
ment of tho political drama, xvo doubt not
wo shall see a development decisive, ade
quate to the emergency, and snch as will
“save the life of the nation.”
' What are wc to say of Grant ? To whom
. can we better ajiply the appeal to the apos-
t ate spirit?
"If thou bo’est be; but 0, how fall’s! bow chanced
From him. who. * • *
Clothed with transcendent brightness, did’tt out
shine
Myriads, though bright!”
While we could regard him as a man of
honor and truth, wo could look upon bim
with something like esteem—even since wc
6aw in him the leader of the Radical party.—
But now! bis falsehood aud treachery have
rendered him contcmiitible. He has deliber
ately plucked the tallest feather from tlie
plume of his shining reputation. A noble
soldier—a conqueror no longer, the name of
Grant is a mere synonym of meanness. And
it brings back very strongly one of the maxims
in the political faith of Brick Pomeroy:
. >‘No man who subscribes to the doctrines,
and lends himself to the infernal policy of
Jacobinism, can be an honest man or a gen
Remap, at heart.”
.It is out of the question. The President
cannot y&eld. He has tbc power, and he xvill
use it When tho crisis comes—tho crisis of
action—if ie does not exert all the power
that is left Idm; if he takes a step backward,
he will prove .himself to bo an arrant coward,
a mere empty, dealer in big sounding words,
a craven pilot, who leaves the helm to tho
mercy of the wavos and 6tands aghast to see
tlic noble ship cas- upon the rocks. We will
not, cannot, do not believe this of Andrew
Johnson. Wc shall so&n know hoxv ho will
net, and whether he will maintain his memo
rable declaration, “Casc3,niay occur in which
the ^Executive would be compelled to stand
on bis rights, and maintain.them, regardless
of all-consequenccs. If Con greet should pass
an act which is not only in conflict with tho
Constitution, but will certainly, if.curried out,
produce immediate and irreparable injury to
tlic organic structure of the Government, and
if there bo neither judicial remedy for the
wrong it infiiota nor power in the people to
protect themselves without the official aid of
tlicir elected defender; if, for instance, the
Legislative Department should pass an net,
even through nl( the forms of law, to abolish
a co-ordinate department of the Government,
in such a case the President must take the
high responsibilities of bis office, nnd save
the life of the nation at all hazards.”
Who can deny that this case has arisen,
and that these acts purport to abolish, pro
tanto, the two corordinats branches of the
Government i
iployes of the Department that he (Mr. S.)
d again taken possession of tho portfolio
of the War Office. At four o’clock Mr. Stan
ton left the War Department for his resi
dence, giving, in his usual xvay, various or
ders to the messengers who have usually at
tended upon his particular office-rooms,
shoxving thereby that be bad quietly settled
down for a continued stay. It is understood
that Mr. Stanton, during tlie day, transacted
no official business whatever, except to draxv
bis salary of $3000 for the time he was out
of office.
• The statement, which we take from the
afternoon papers, of the circumstances of the
reoccupation of the War Department by the
deposed Secretary, astonished no one more
than President Johnson, who was greatly
surprised at the surrender by Gen. Grant of
the trust reposed in him as Secretary of War
ad interim. The people of tho country will
doubtless be startled at the annunciation that
Mr. otanton ubs go quietly resumed posses
sion of the War Department, and will be cu
rious to know how it was effected. In Jus
tification of the President, we are at liberty
to state the following additional circum
stances, from which our readers will draw
their own conclusions: Some time after the
appointment of Gen. Grant as Secretary of
War ad interim, he had a conversation with
the President upon tlic subject of the proba
bility of the refusal of the Senate to recognize
the suspension of Mr. Stanton, when General
Grant stated that in such event be might not
wish to identify himself with either party in
the controversy, but added, in effect: j‘I
shall in that event either hand you my resig
nation as Acting Secretary, or let a man
damus be issued against me to surrender tlic
office.”
This conversation was renewed from time
to time, and, on last Saturday, when Senator
Howard’s report from the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs in favor of Stanton was
under discussion, Gen. Grant wus pointedly
asked by the President if he had changed his
mind in reference to the course he would’pur-
sue if the Senate should refuse to make Stan
ton’s suspension final, when he reiterated the
E romisc previously made, that he would either
and in liis resignation as Secretary of War
ad interim early enough for tho President to
appoint his successor or take auy other ac
tion bo might deem requisite, or allow a
mandamus to be served upon hint for the
surrender of the office; adding a promise to
the President, that lie should hear from him
on the subject on Monday.
Monday passed without the promised com’
munication.’ On Monday evening, after it
was known that the Senate had passed How
ard’s resolutions refusing to recognize the
suspension of Stanton as Secretary of War,
Gen. Grant was present at the reception at
the Executive Mansion, where he greeted the
President but mentioned nothing of any
cliango in the determination previously de
clared. The President beard nothing xvhat-
cvcr from Gen. Grant upon the subject until
twelvo o’clock Tuesday, two hours after Mr.
Stanton had taken possession of the War
Office, xvlien the following communication
was delivered to him by Major Comstock,
onoofGen. Grant’s staff officers:

Where the woods like banners bending.
Drooped in glory and in gloom—

And the faint, far dawn was binding
With the stars now fast descending—

With the stars and shadows o’er him—

And the next day’s sun and splendor
Flashed upon my brother’s tomb.

abouti” laid a customer to his barber. “No,
sir, not exactly; but I can see what is running
in your head,"
As almost every one takes an interest in
this remarkable man, we reprint from the
Memphis Avalanche the following graphic
pen and ink sketch of his personal appear
ance and manner:
Father Ryan is a man of about thirty years
age, five feet seven inches in height, is
■spare made, of fragile form and appearance;
his shoulders are slightly stooped and indi
cate a habit of leaning over books. His
movements are rather quiet, but indicate
much firmuess aud decision. His easy man
ner exhibits a perfect confidence and strength
of character. When he appears before his
people, the most listless observer arouses to
a sense that a most extraordinary man is be
fore him.
His impressive appearance consists of a
beautiful expression of countenance, that is
not dependent on outline for its cause, but
rather on the intellectual light that shines
from his eyes and radiates over bis counte
nance. His face is long nnd beardless; bis
hair is brown, anil xvorn cast back from his
high, broad forehead, and bangs in slight and
graceful curls over his shoulders; his eyes arc
soft and blue, mild in repose, and glow beau
tifully when lie is aroused or eloquent; bis
brows aro high and regularly arched. The
eyes often droop, and seem to fall with a vio
let light radiating from them. His mouth
lias a slight curvature at the corners, is small
and of pleasing appearance; his lips are mo
bile, and carry on their well moulded surface
a constantly varying smile, that lias much of
that compassion that beams kindly from his
eyes and face. His angular cheek bones arc
scarcely noticeable in a front view.
His general appearance, os ho stands in the
chancel, is very feminine, yet giving the im
pression that ho is an intellectual nnd poetical
person ot noble and good qualities. His man
ner, and particularly his distinct tenor tones,
indicate an unusually powerful and impressive
voice. His utterances often reach a high key,
hut they are musically modulated aud very
pleasing to the ear. His thrilling sentences
flow rithuiicnlly, like poetry, nnd arc not only
exquisitely pleasing, but convincing in every
respect. Short torrents of eloquent words
flow from him easily and without labor. No
unkindly references ever grate on the ear of
his varied listeners. Kindly nnd calmly ho
tells the beauties of the church; firmly he asks
for faith from his hearers, and, without big
olry, lie demands devotion and Christian
practice from its members. His teachings
carry conviction on their face, and wield an
incalculable influence on his hearers.

The McCardle Case.
Ity the Associated Frees.]
Washington, January 1
TUB UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Tlie Supreme Court room xvas crowded this
afternoon xvith many of the n;o3t distinguished
members of the Bar now in Washington, to
hear the argument in case No. 380, ex parte
Wm.’H. McCardle, on appeal from the Cir
cuit Court of the United States for the South
ern District of Mississippi. It will be recol
lected that McCardle xvas arrested and im
prisoned liy order of Gen. Ord, and ordered
to be tried by a military commission on tbc
charge of hindering reconstruction by cer
tain publications in the paper at Vicksburg
of which ho is the editor. Tlie accused xvas
held to bail in tlie sum of $2000 to axvait
further proceedings. The motion argued to
day xvas to giving un early hearing to all the
principles involved.
Senator Trumbull appeared for the military
authorities. He contended that this xx-as not
in any sense a political' question, aor was it
of such a criminal character as required the
Court to give it preference; besides, the ac
cused being noxv at liberty, though under bail,
was suffering no grievous hardship.
Judge Black took issue xvith Mr. Trumbull,
and argued that the interests not only of
McCardle but of all the citizens of the United
States were involved in this question, and he
insisted that the liberty of the citizeD was the
most precious of all blessings. lie did not
ask the early consideration of the case as a
matter of favor, but they asked it because the
laws of tbc land, and immemorial custom, and
the rules of this Court, required that the case
should bo placed at the head of the docket,
as it claimed immediate attention. If the
Court denied the motion, it might xvith as
much propriety refuse to hear the case until
all the civil cases on the docket shall have
been disposed of. Causes are beard here ac
cording to their characters. The petitioner
xvas charged with a criminal offence, and,
xvhctlier the proceedings xvere legal or illegal,
it xvas necessary that the Court shall decide'
the question. There xvas an act of Congress
which decided that xvrits of errors shall be
entitled to precedence over other cases; but
long before that act xvas passed there bad not
been an instance in which any one had at
tempted to stave off a question of this char
acter. The administration of criminal justice
xvas of great importance to the people. If the
party xvas fairly -tried and condemned, the
highest interest required that he should be
punished with tho leastpossible delay. It was
in that way that the law became a terror to
evil doers, and a praise to them that do well.
If a party suffer wrong, it xvas important
to him and a credit to the administration of
justice that he shall bo relieved. No one
xvould say that the sword should be sus
pended over a man’s bead for a moment
longer than was necessary. This being
criminal case, the custom and precedents of
more than three-fourths of a century would
be departed from unless the case xvere taken
lip now. The principle in this case did not
apply to McCardle alone, but extended to
every portion of the country. It was impor
tant to knoxv xvhat the law was, in order
that its execution might be fair. It should
be knoxvn to everybody to be protected by
the law, and it could not be denied that the
Constipation of the United States guarantees
to every person accused a fair and speedy
trial in order to determine the guilt or in
nocence of the party. The gentleman who
preceded me might be mistaken in his prem
ises, and when the Attorney General had
heretofore expressed himself against the
views of tho gentleman, there could not but
be doubt a3 to xvliat Mr. Trumbull advanced.
Judge Sharkey, after Judge Black had con
cluded bis argument, stated a few facts in the
case which, lie said, ought to have settled
tlie question long ago. In Mississippi there
were several persons under sentence of death,
and they might be executed for ought he
knexv, and not only those are interested, but
many others at the Botany Bay of America,
the Dry Tortugas, and others were in jail in
Mississippi axvaiting the termination of this
case. He was sure there were more capital
cases now depending,.and urged the strong
doubts as to the constitutionality of the laxv
ns auuther reason rrbv this case should be
advanced, and surely this was the Court of
last resort to settle all such questions.
Judgo Hughes, who appeared with Senator
Trumble for the Government, remarked that
the Attorney-General could not take part in
this case, as he had said that a3 a member of
the Cabinet he was committed against the
reconstruction acts of Congress.
Attorney- General Stanbery corrected the
gentleman. This was not the reason assigned
by him. A civilian in the Fifth Military Dis
trict committed a homicide ih Louisiana, and
the . military commission sentenced him to
death. Thu laxv required that a copy of all
the proceedings should be transmitted to the
President, and tliut no. execution should take
place xvitliout his approval of the sentence.
The President callcd'Upon him as his legal
adviser to give the reason why he should ap
prove or disapprove of the sentence. He did
give the President liis advice, but in such a
xvay as to prevent him from appearing in this
cose.
Judge Hughes, resuming his remarks, said
the Court would see that tho plain question
xvould be as to the constitutionality of mili
tary commissions. The case xvas 380 on the
docket, and the motion pending xvas to ad
vance it. The very fact that it involved a
great constitutional question xvas a reason
why a discussion of its merits sliould not be
hastened, unless it was shown that the peti
tioner suffered peculiar punishment. The
speech of Judge Black showed that this
question could not be alluded to without
stirring uppassion,andthis wasan additional
reason why the consideration of the sub
ject should not be hastened. The caus<
xvould be better advanced by allowing ample
time for its consideration.
The results were too important to allow of
a hasty disposition of the case to-day. They
might find it so difficult a question ns to per
plex tho Court, but which might easily be
settled hereafter. It seemed to him "that
notliiug required the contemplated haste.
Tho Court reserved its decision.
The Prattville Disturbance.—The ed
itor of the Montgomery Advertiser has re
ceived a private letter from Prattville, from
which he makes tho following extract:
During tho Radical meetiug at this place
on Sunday last, Fardcn. tho head devil of
the Radicals, xvhilo making a speech, was
asked of Jim Thomas, a negro, if he had
never applied to Colonel Doster for license to
whip the negroes on his [FardenVJ place. —
Fardcn replied that ho xvas only joking when
he made the request of Doster to procure
the license for bim to whip his freedmen.—
Somebody in the crowd then denounced
Fardcn, nnd a row seemed to be brewing,
whereupon the Radical meeting was asked by
the toxvn officers to adjourn to the livery sta
ble. After they adjourned to the stable, Col.
Doster stated to the crowd which stayed,
that the negro’s assertions xvere true.
A negro named Gabe Thompson and sev
eral other negroes c ime up about this time,
and fired into tho crowd assembled about
Colonel Doster. Their fire was returned and
a general melee ensued. Four negroes and
three white men xvere wounded, but none of
the parties hare yet died. About forty sliots
xvere fired, and the town officials succeeded
in quelling the row. Everything is quiet
now.
An Important Disuatcit.—The following
is a copy of a dispatch received by General
Grant on Sunday—says the National Intelli
gencer of tlie 10th instant—and exhibited by
him to the President on Tuesday, after he had
vacated the War Department, and installed
Mr. Stanton iu possession of its archives :
Atlanta, G.v., Jan. 12,18GS.
General U. S. Grant:
Unless the pending bill in Cougrcss, direct
ing military commanders to fill all offices iu
this State under their command, rescinds the
test oath and proxddes for selection from
qualified voters, I am informed its execution
in this district xvill be entirely impracticable.
George G. Meade,
Major General.
Tlie Voice of the Dead.
I have seen one die—the delight of his friends,
tho pride of his kindred, the hopo of his country;
but he died! How beautiful was that offering
upon the altar of death ' The fire of genius kin
died in his eye; the generous affections of youth
mantled on his ciieek; his foot was upon the
threshold of life; his studies, his preparations lor
honored and useful life, were completed; his
breast was filled with a thousand glowing, and
noble, and never yet expressed aspirations; but
lie died! lie died; while another, of a nature
dull, coarse, and unrefined, of habits low, ba
and brutish, of a promise that bad nothing in it
but shame and misery—such an one, I say, was
suffered to encumber the earth. Could this be,
if there were lio other sphere for the gifted, the
aspiring, the embryo thought just bursting into
expression, tho deep and earnest passions of a
noble nature, just swelling into the expansion of
every beautiful virtue, should never manifest its
power, should never speak, should never unfold
itself I Can wo believe that all this should die;
while meanness, corruption, sensuality, and
every deformed and dishonored power, should
live? No, ye goodly and glorious ones ! ye die
not in vain; yo teach, ye assuro us, that ye aro
gone to some world of nobler life and action.
I have seen one die; she xvas beautiful; aid
beautilul xvere the ministries of life that xvere
gix'en her to fulfill. Angelic loveliness enrobed
her; and a grace, as if it were caught from
heaven, breathed In every tone, hallowed every
ail, ction, ,-i. en- i:i t-X’.-ry action—inve.-ted ur a l.ido
her whole cxUtenco, and made it alight and bless
ing, a charm and a v.sion of gladness, to all around
her; but she died ! Friendship, and love, and pa
rental fondness, and infant xveakness, stretched
out their hand to save her; bat they could not
save her; and she died! What! did all that love
liness die ? Is there no land of the blessed and
lovely one. for such to live in ? Forbid it reason,'
religion!—bereaved affection, and undying love!
toroid the thought! It cannot bo that such die in
God’s counsel, who livo even in frail human mem
ory, forever 1
I have seen one die—in the maturity of every
power, in tho earthly perfection of cx’ery faculty’;
when many temptations had been overcome, and
many bad lessons bad been learned ; lvhcn many
experiments had made virtue easy, and had given
a (ucility to action, and a success to endeavor ;
when wisdom had been learnt from many mistakes,
and a skill hid been laboriously acquired in the
use of many powers ; and the being, I looked
upon, had just compassed that most useful, most
practical of ail knowledge, how to live, and to act
well and xviaely; yet I have seen such an one die!
Was all the treasure gained, and only to be lost ?
Were all these faculties trained, only to be thrown
iuto utter disuse ? Was this instrument—the in
telligent soul, the noblest in the universe—was it
so laboriously fashioned, and by the most varied
aud expensive apparatus, that, on the very mo
ment of being finished, it should be cast axvay for
ever ? No, the dead, as wc call them, do not so
die. They carry onr thoughts to another and a
nobler existence. They teach ns, and especially
by ail the strange and seemingly untoward circum
stances of their departure from this life, that they
and xve shall live forever. They open the future
world, theD, to our faitli.
They open it also, and ia fine, to our affections.
No person of reflection and piety can have lived
long, without beginning to find, in regard to the
MnslytSjwii MltiBliil1ltrri»t»R#>l» friends
—that the balance is gradually inclining in lavor
of another world. Hoxv many, after the middle
period of life, aud especially in declining years,
must feel—if the experience of life has had any
just effect upon them—that the objects of their
strongest attachment aro not here. One by one,
the ties of earthly affection are cut asunder; one
by one, friends, companions, children, parents, are
taken from us; for a time, perhaps, we ore “in a
strait betwixt two,” as xvas the apostles, not de
ciding altogether whether it is better to de-jart;
bnt shall we not, at length, say with the disciples,
when some dearer friend is taken, “let us go and
die xvith him?”
Tho dead hove not ceased their communica
tion with us, though tho visible chain is broken.
If they are still tho same they must still think of
us. Astx70 friends on earth may know that they
love each other, without any expression, without
even the sight of each other; as they may know,
though dwelling in different and distant coun
tries,without any visible chain of communication,
that their thoughts mingle together, as may it
be with txgo friends, of whom the ono is on earth
and the other in heaven. Especially where
there is such an union of pure minds that it is
scarcely possible to conceive of separation ; that
union seems to bo apart of their very being ; wo
may believo that their friendship, their mutual
sympathy, is beyond tho power of the grave to
break up. “But ah 1” we say, “if thero were
only so mo manifestation ; it there wero only a
glimpso of that blessed land; if there were, in
deed, some messenger bird, such as is supposed,
in some countries, to come from tho spirit land,
how early should wc question it 1” In the words
of the poet, we should say—
“But tell us, thou bird of the solemn strain,
Can those xvho bavo loved, forget ?
We call—but they answer not again—
Do they love, do they love us yet?
Wo call them far, through the silent night.
And they speak not from cave or hilt;
Wo know, wo know, that their land is bright.
But say, do they love there still ?”
The poetic doubt, we may ansxver with plain
reasoning, and plainer scripture. We may say, ia
the language of reason, if they livo there, they love
there. We mayjmswerin the language of Jesus
Christ, “he that li7eth aud bclieveth in me. shall
never die.” And again, “have ye not read,” saith
onr Saviour, “that which was spoke unto you by
God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and tbe God of Jacob? God is not
the God of tlie dead, but of tho living,”
Then it is true, that they live there; aud they
yet speak to us. From that bright sphere, from
that calm region, from the bowers ol life immor
tut, they speak to us. They say lo us, “sigh not
in despair over tbo broken and defeated expcc
tations of earth. Sorrow toi as thoso who have
no hope, lienr, calmly and cheerfully, thy lot
Brighten tho chain oflove, of sympathy—of com
munion with all puro minds on earth and in
heaven. Think,' oh! think of the mighty and
glorious company that fill tho immortal regions.
Light, life, beauty, beatitude, are here. Come
children of earth ! come to tho bright nnd
blessed land!” Wo will go and live with them
forever 1
